The Story of Maths-Frontiers of Space
As we continue this epic
adventure thru the past of mathematics, we can now quite understand that most
of what we have today, we owe to the development and advancement in the field
of mathematics. The 3rd episode of the story of maths now takes us to Europe,
and in the time where it has taken over the advancement of mathematics from the
Middle East. We are introduced to René Descartes, one of the few
mathematician-philosopher who realized that two of the major fields in
mathematics today can be linked, algebra and geometry. We then venture into
France, England and other places where mathematics has developed. Some
developments were in calculus, the properties of prime numbers and more.
Thru these advancement, we can
now understand the world we live in a deeper perspective. We can see things in
different dimensions and discover an ever changing world. It is very
fascinating how philosophy, art and mathematics combined can change the course
of history and the lives of mankind. Again we can conclude that without all the
advancements in the past, we would not experience the technology and advancement
we have today.
